I've seen competitions where falling off the beam was like a cold being spread to every participant. Even the most consistent beam workers seemed to be losing it that day.
My question to all gymnasts, coaches, and parents, is what do you do to teach girls not to fall off the beam? Are there special pointers you give them that help them stay on the beam? Is it a mental thing? If so then what do you say or do to help them with that? Is it a physical thing? If so then what are the drills and/or pointers you use to help with that?
Do you have special drills specifically designed to improve poise and balance? What do you do with a gymnast who constantly teeters? Constantly makes adjustments? Constantly loses rhythm due to bobbles?
